Writer education

The most I've done is a few literature and technical writing courses at a local community college. The literature just to have a wider appreciation of writing and to hone my eyes to common themes and styles and the like. The technical courses to hone my grammar and structure. I'm not going to waste my money to have someone teach me how to write. I know how to write. I can brush up on the little things through networking with other writers and attending open workshops. I prefer a free exchange of ideas between other writers in the same genre field as me. I think that's the best way to do it. But I'm one of those people who feels writing is a highly personal craft anyway.

I haven't done that. I figure, I'm rather capable of learning on my own, I'd prefer to learn on my own without having to pay someone else to teach me what to do. If I could find a really good writing course here at my school, I might consider it, however, I'm not exactly sure if I'd really want to do that.
